Six Camping Essentials to Bring to Hulaween

With Hulaween creeping up fast, it is best to be completely prepared in order to have a fun and calming weekend. 4 days full of music and living in the woods calls for a decent amount of prep, so we put together a list of six ultimate camping essentials that you should bring with you next weekend.

1.Portable Charger- With artists like Pretty Lights, John Summit, and Goose, fans are about to witness and incredible lineup of music. Because Hulaween is a camping festival, electricity isn’t always readily available. In order to stay in touch with your group, or if you love recording clips of your favorite sets, a portable charger is the best thing to have on you during the festival. 

2.Hammock or Inflatable Couch- Hulaween is all about being comfortable and enjoying the calming nature of Suwannee while listening to your favorite music. The best way to kick back and relax during a set is to either bring a hammock or an inflatable couch. Can’t go wrong with popping a squat after a long day of standing and dancing. 

3.Hydration pack- One of the most important parts of the weekend is making sure that you stay hydrated! A hydration pack is the best way to ensure that you can have water accessible to you throughout the weekend. Hulaween will have water stations set up all around the festival, making it easy to keep your hydration pack full at all times. 

4.Trinkets- If you have ever been to Hulaween, odds are you have come home with some type of small trinket in your pocket. Whether it be a tiny plastic baby or googley eyes to wear around your finger, small trinkets can make someone’s day at a festival, so it is always a great idea to bring something entertaining to give out.

5.Canned Foods- This year, Hulaween is partnering with Conscious Alliance to have a canned food drive to donate to a local food bank. Patrons that bring at least 20 nonperishable food ideas or a monetary donation will be able to receive a Hulaween 2023 poster to show their appreciation for helping the local community. 

6.Appropriate clothing- Florida’s weather has a mind of its own, especially during this time of the year. It is important to make sure you pack appropriate clothing because you never know if it will be 40 degrees one night, and 85 the next night. Packing the right clothes will keep you comfy all weekend so you can focus on dancing with your friends!

Creating a list the week before the festival is a great way to stay organized and make sure you have all of the essentials packed and ready to go. Get your bags ready, see you all next weekend!
